BURBANK, CA (April 29, 2025) - The CW Network today announced that it has renewed its agreement with the Pac-12 conference to broadcast nine college football games in 2025. The CW will provide full national coverage to showcase the strength of the Oregon State and Washington State football programs and their student-athletes. The season will kick off on Saturday, August 30 with Idaho at Washington State at 10:00pm ET / 7:00pm PT. As in 2024, all nine broadcasts on The CW will be produced by Pac-12 Enterprises, the conference's broadcast production arm.
"We are excited to continue our relationship with the Pac-12 for a second year and bring more Oregon State and Washington State games to our growing audience of sports fans," said Mike Perman, Senior Vice President of Sports, The CW. "Last season's matchups were some of the most thrilling and most-watched football games on CW Sports Football Saturdays, and we look forward to building on that momentum in 2025 alongside a packed fall sports schedule that includes ACC football games and NASCAR Xfinity Series playoff races."
"We are thrilled to continue our partnership with The CW in 2025," said Pac-12 Commissioner Teresa Gould. "Having seen tremendous success in our first year with The CW, including the most-watched college football game on the network last fall, we look forward to another exciting year of Pac-12 football available across the country."
Additional scheduling highlights for the 2025 season include a "New Pac-12" double feature on Saturday, September 6 featuring schools slated to join the expanded Pac-12 Conference in 2026 with Fresno State at Oregon State (3:30pm ET / 12:30pm PT) and San Diego State at Washington State (10:15pm ET / 7:15pm PT).
